Members of the public are being invited take part in a defibrillator awareness event which could help them save a life.

The session at Plas Madoc Leisure Centre has been organised by Member of the Senedd Ken Skates and St John Ambulance.

It will take place from 1-3pm on August 16, and Mr Skates is asking his constituents to book their place early.

The Clwyd South MS said: “St John Ambulance offers free first aid-related courses to community groups, youth groups and schools as part of its goal to put a first aider on every street in Wales.

“This is a great opportunity for me to work with them to offer my constituents the lifesaving skills of using a defibrillator and performing CPR.

“We will be limited on numbers, so I’d urge any of my constituents who are interested to book their place as soon as possible.”

A spokesperson for St John Ambulance said: “These skills really make a difference in saving lives and the support of our politicians is vital to this important work.”

Spaces are limited, so to book your place email [email protected] or call 01978 869058.
